Hi Lads,
Not posted for a while but i've just been on the phone and i need to share this cos its a disgrace.
At half time, Steve Wigley (Bolton Coach, EX-City) overheard the officials having a conversation in the tunnel just before the second half.
The referee and one of the linesman, not sure which one stood there and one said "what dya think of that" and another said "I told you, i said didn't i, i booked him last season, he's a right bastard", another replied "who's this, Wright Phillips?" and the referee said "No, fucking Bellamy".
The 4th official then said "Tevez is bloody brilliant though, it's a decent game" and a linesman said "yeah he's quality that lad, but where's that other argentinian bloke u we're on about?" and the ref then said "The fuckers on the bench, keep an eye out"
At this point hughes walked past and shook his head, but didn't say anything to them.
I for one, think this is absolutley pathetic, in my opinion, i don't know who all the officials we're today, but the referee seems to be a right bastard and should be investigated. Bellamy should not of been sent off. and theat goal was a mile offside.
Has anybody else heard about this incident? it wasn't mentioned on key 103 or on the streams? and i cant find anything on the net.
I highly doubt steve would make something up, so i think i'm going to email the FA, it's just wrong.
